Time and again we see leaders and members of religions incite aggression, fanaticism, hate, and xenophobia - even inspire and legitimate violent and bloody conflicts.

However, if the religions in essence merely repeat statements from the United Nations Human Rights Declaration, such a Declaration becomes superfluous; an ethic is more than rights.

Religion often is misused for purely power-political goals, including war.

I remember the Curia said, that's up to the American bishops, not up to Rome.

In New Orleans, where I'm from, the average household income, with two working parents, two kids, a dog and a little fence is $16,000 a year, so $15,000 for a movie sounds pretty good.

I think that style, taste, and choices in general are forged by everything that surrounds you - everything you see, taste, touch, smell and hear. So of course, my family has influenced me as a person and in my own style, but so have all the experiences that I went through as an individual.

The great thing about adventure, when told correctly, is it is one of the few genres that everybody in the family can watch together.

I wanted to be a father, and I wanted to be involved in my children's athletics, school stuff like that.
